:sadwavey: My Windows install decided to be stupid

Cliffnotes:
Had a stripped down version of Windows XP on my mediabox for the last few years, thought I'd get a legit copy on it. The machine has three HDDs in it and this was my setup pre-reinstall:

C:\ was the 80GB as the primary boot drive and where the OS lived
D:\ was the CD-RW drive
E:\ was the 250GB drive as in-between storage / catch-all storage (added later)
F:\ was the 1TB drive with all my multimedia on it [videos, music, pics, etc.] (added much later)

Re-installed Windows on the 80GB HDD from CD, and booted up Windows Disk Management and saw this:

Yeah...

So, how can I go from the picture and damned confusing layout back to what I originally had in the first place? Reinstall Windows? I'm really nervous about the 1TB drive, since that has all my digital goodies.

That's kinda funny ... what happens when you disconnect the 1TB drive and boot the PC?? This is exactly why I disconnect all extra drives when I install an OS ...

Dunno, haven't tried it. 8am comes early when troubleshooting at 1am. Well, I think the best way to do this is to disconnect the power from 250GB and 1TB and re-install on the 80GB. I was just hoping that OT CnP crew had an idea for me.
